Hey ya’ll, Righty, not much time to say owt but here goes. Tirane definitely does the best kebabs of eastern Europe… none of this give you all chips and salad and a tiny bit of meat lark that cracks off in Bulgaria. However am a little concerned about all the men with big guns about. […]

Dear all, First off. Thank you Zach, a great chap from the states studying at harvard business school, he has just been on the site and sent me some feedback on how to get from Tirane to Budwar in one easy step. Legend. You can see his big cheesy grin on the picture of ‘the […]

Dear all, This is day 2 in Macedonia… I think. Everything is all a bit messed up because we came over on an overnight coach will decided to get in about an hour and a half early which meant we were in Ohrid around 3:30am [GMT+1] local time. Luckily a kind old geeza had a […]

Hi there, Just a quick post to say that we’ve arrived in Sofia and that I’m pleasantly surprised.

Also in the last image link you may want to alter the arrow slightly so it does a dog leg at Ruse on […]

Dear all, Brasov has been excellent so far. After the last post I didn’t really spend too much time doing anything particular or exciting, just chilling really and playing too much N64. Yesterday we went on a day trip around the sites outside of Brasov. We paid 10 quid per person which is well over […]
